### Isomerization of Methyisonitrile (CH3NC) to Acetonitrile (CH3CN) at Elevated Temperatures#### Chemical Reaction:At elevated temperatures, methyisonitrile (CH3NC) isomerizes to acetonitrile (CH3CN) as represented by the following chemical equation:\[ \text{CH}_3\text{NC (g)} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{CN (g)} \]#### Kinetic Analysis:The reaction is first-order in methyisonitrile. The following graph provides data obtained for the reaction at a temperature of 198.9°C.#### Graph Description:The graph is a plot of the pressure of CH3NC (in arbitrary units) against time (in seconds). The data points form a near-straight line, indicating first-order kinetics. The equation of the line derived from this plot is:\[ y = -5.1 \times 10^{-5} \text{s}^{-1} \cdot x + 5.05 \]- **Y-axis (vertical)**: Represents the pressure of CH3NC, ranging from 3.4 to 5.2 units.- **X-axis (horizontal)**: Represents time in seconds (s), ranging from 0 to 30,000 seconds. Points on the graph indicate that as time progresses, the pressure of CH3NC decreases, suggesting a decrease in its concentration due to the isomerization process.#### Rate Law Determination:Based on the data and the linear equation provided, the rate law for the reaction is to be identified from the following options:1. \( \text{rate} = -5.1 \times 10^{-5} \text{s}^{-1} [\text{CH}_3\text{NC}]^2 \)2. \( \text{rate} = 5.1 \times 10^{-5} \text{s}^{-1} [\text{CH}_3\text{NC}] \)3. \( \text{rate} = 5.1 \times 10^{-5} \text{s}^{-1} [\text{CH}_3\text{NC}]^2 \)4. \( \text{rate} = -5.1 \times 10^{-5} \text{s}^{-1} [\text{CH
